Template overwrite

Congratulations! You've found a bug. We're investigating this now, but can recreate the issue. It definitely worked at one point, but something seems to have changed in the 2.6.x releases (and subsequently 3.x).

A temporary fix is to create the override in the following directory:
/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/jfbconnect/loginregister/default.php

Note the removal of 'com_' from jfbconnect. Not sure why this is being stripped, but that's why the override isn't found. We'll put a fix in a future release, once we determine the cause.

Please let us know if this works for you or if you run into any other issues.

Glad it worked. We found the cause and it will be fixed in the next release. Please remember when you update that you'll need to change the template override directory to the proper /html/com_jfbconnect/loginregister/default.php

If you'd like to fix this on your own right now so you don't have to remember in the future, you'll need to modify the /components/com_jfbconnect/jfbconnect.php file.

At the top, remove these 2 lines at the top:
$option = JRequest::getCmd('option');
$option = substr($option, 4);

Then, at the toward the bottom of that file, update the following line to remove the $option variable and hardcode it to "JFBConnect":
$classname = 'JFBConnectController'.$view;

Thanks for letting us know about the issue!

Wow, you're not kidding. That's an old(er) file in the JFBConnect scheme of things, and we had no clue there were no ID's or class's on anything but the inputs and labels. We'll add some to the surrounding div's on the page and each form and that should be in the RC2 release.. along with the fixed template override directory issue.

The inline styles, we'll agree, aren't perfect, but we wanted to give a standard 'good look' out of the box. In a future rev, I can see a separate stylesheet (using our fancy new selectors) which can then be overridden. We haven't received too much feedback (good or bad) on that page, so we just haven't dived into it recently.

If you have any suggestions or would like to contribute some changes to that file, we'd love to look over them and possibly integrate the changes.

Thanks again for reporting the bug. It's our job to provide great support, it's what you subscribed for! If you'd like to let others know about your experience, check out our signature.

I just put up a new version of JFBConnect component v2.6.3 with the fix to allow for template overrides and a quick update to loginregister view to add id's/class names to some of the divs, etc.
